Rogers writes mainly on medieval military history. His War Cruel and Sharp: English Strategy under Edward III, 1327-1360 won the 2003 Verbruggen Prize awarded by De Re Militari.[1] He has also been awarded the Royal Historical Society's Alexander Prize medal and a Society for Military History Moncado Prize for his articles, some of which are collected in his Essays on Medieval Military History: Strategy, Military Revolutions and the Hundred Years War.

His Soldiers' Lives through History: The Middle Ages,[2] received the 2009 Verbruggen Prize. A podcast of a lecture based on part of that book, focusing on the soldier's experience of battle, has been posted by NYMAS, at http://nymas.org/podcasts.html. He is also the editor of the three-volume Oxford Encyclopedia of Medieval Warfare and Military Technology, which received a Distinguished Book Award from the Society for Military History,[3]The Wars of Edward III: Sources and Interpretations and The Military Revolution Debate, and co-editor of The Journal of Medieval Military History, The West Point History of the Civil War and The West Point History of World War II (which received Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Awards for 2014 and 2016), and the essay collection Civilians in the Path of War. He is co-Senior Editor of the 71-chapter interactive digital military history textbook The West Point History of Warfare, which received the 2016 Society of Military History - George C. Marshall Foundation Prize for the Use of Digital Technology in Teaching Military History.[4]

Although Rogers' work on Military Revolutions has found favor with many historians,[5] some (including Kelly DeVries[6] and John Stone[7]) argue that his analysis suffers from "technological determinism."
